Performance Issues

[slowhand]

First, I successfully installed the board and that is a great testament to the documentation and its ease.

However, I am having serious performance issues.  I do not know if this is related to something I have/have not done with the install or whether the host is poor.  Most of the time, pages take forever to load and occasionally time out.  Every once in a while, it is very fast, so I am beginning to suspect my host.

I am hosted on yahoo and below is the debug info if anything usefull can be extracted from it.

You hit the nail right on the head.  I'm fairly certain your problems stem from your host.

You hit the nail right on the head.  I'm fairly certain your problems stem from your host.

Figured as much.  I think I'll go and find myself another host.

Thanks and kudos to you and the rest of the team for a well documented and painless process.
